InDesign

Here we are, decades into multiple CPU/GPU cores… amazing…  

I’ve cleared preferences through library, and when starting indesign.It has several bugs randomly appearing. eg. Suddenly can’t undo, takes ages to quit, there’s a slight delay importing images...

I've followed all the suggestions made by the virtual assistant and other AI, but my InDesign still freezes whenever I place an image. Any image, large or small, png or jpeg. I have reset all preferences and checked RAM and CPU - all good. 

I am not able to save to my FileServers ​​​​​​after updating to InDesign 21.5.1.I am boring on an iMac with OS 26.6.2. When I try save the file locally it’s OK.On the server a file is placed but it’s empty 0Kb.I have tried on different servers with the same problem. 

Hey, When I try to link a spreadsheet with an inDesign document using the Data merge -> Select Data Source function and selecting a CSV file exported from an excel spreadsheet, I get the following error message: "The data source file you selected either has no records or is not a supported file format. Please fix the file, select a file that contains records, or select a supported file format."I have looked at the other troubleshooting threads, and none of them solved the issue. 

InDesign hyperlink not working in pdf, which works in InDesign. If the text destination is applied color the link is not working in pdf but if color not applied it works in pdf. The pdf shows the link hand symbol but not going to destination.Tried applying color first then created hyperlink then also not working. What could be the issue? Why it is happening in pdf? Any solutions or suggestions to resolve the issue could be useful. Does applying color changes the text anchor property in PDF? The document is confidential, if adobe team email provided will send the InDesign document. 

I am not using a table and there is only one column (fixed number) per text box. There are two columns and three rows of text boxes, and it is unclear whether the text inside is trying to align (top / bottom) to the other text boxes. What is clear is that the text is not centered the way I need it to be. Text appears to maintain its position within the text box when the text box is moved.

Hello, why can't I upload files to Indd when it worked fine for years. Most graphic designers and studios work with NAS devices. I can't save anything, I have to make copies and restore files. Can something be done about it? Thank you very much rh     <Title renamed by MOD>

Since they removed the Pantone library from the color swatch section, what’s the easy way to add a swatch? I read several threads about this from years past but all the solutions are now deprecated...

Since yesterday I am no longer able to update CC.I get "Encountered Issues in updating Creative Cloud. Error Code 190”.Same Windows PC that I have used with CC since 2020.I am able to update InDesign, though.Does anyone else have that problem ?

My team has reviewed the document and the comments are showing in review but none of their highlights or pins are showing. I've signed in and out, restarted my computer, etc and it has made no difference. It isn't showing on their end either when they open the review link. It's like they disappeared. Below is a screenshot.  

After a recent update, my InDesign is now showing all these stupid pop-ups the whole time. Screenshot attached.  To be absolutely clear, I am talking about the entire dialogue box, not the tool-tip illustrateed in a section of the dialogue box shown.   How do I kill them off once and for all ?  I've looked through Preferences but canot spot anything obvious.       <Title renamed by MOD>

When working in InDesign, entire objects (text fields, color areas, linked images) disappear and are no longer displayed. Not even their frames. The layers cannot be selected by clicking on the location where the elements are located. Zooming into the document or changing the view mode doesnt change anything in the visability of the objects.  However, the objects are still there in the layers window. Similarly, when exporting a PDF, the invisible objects become visible again. I can make the objects visible again by copying and pasting them onto a new page or by saving an IDML and opening it. However, the objects keep disappearing when working in the file.Tested with GPU turned on and off.

I'm not completely opposed to generative AI (won't get into my opinion on it personally), but Adobe really needs to stop shoving these half-baked features in our faces. Why on earth, while editing a text document on InDesign, would I need to see a pop-up suggesting "text-to-image" AI features? It's literally blocking what I'm working on and I have to close the dialogue.

Colours change - while designing after the latest update to InDesign v 21.5.1

Mac Mini Display Issues, White Flashes, and Lags. Adobe InDesign Version 21.5.1. // Mac Mini 2024 (M4) mac OS Tahoe 26.6.2A Mac Mini set up completely from scratch, with no data transferred from old devices. I open InDesign documents that were created last week on the old computer (there were no issues there). When I open the file (I’ve also tried other files, including newly created ones), I sometimes experience white flashes when zooming or moving placed objects; sometimes entire text frames disappear when zooming, or the zoom takes about 2 seconds. These errors occur regardless of whether GPU performance is enabled or disabled.Various monitors have already been connected and tested, as well as different ports (HDMI or DisplayPort).InDesign's display performance has already been tested using the “Typical,” “Fast,” and “High Quality” settings. In addition, the monitors' color profiles were adjusted, and different variations were tested. The ruler in InDesign was also turned off. Dynam

The last couple months I’ve been experiencing what I can only describe like lag issues in redrawing my layout. Reminds me using Quark a million years ago.If I change a font size, the layout doesn’t show the change unless I click off the text box.When scrolling or moving the page I get large grey geometric shapes or blank spaces or colorful glitchy lines.I’ve turned off GPU performance but it doesn’t matter.Anyone else seeing this?MacBook Pro M4Max 48GB RAM

Hello, My InDesign somehow just decided to change the unit for documents from inches to points. I don't really points so I want to put it back to inches but haven't trouble. I think the way to change the units for new documents was to go to Preferences - Units and Increments and change the H and V units there. My Preference for units is already set as inches. And my rulers are shown in inches, too. But, when I open a New Document, it still shows me all units in "p". After having this issue, I updated the InDesign CC yesterday, too, but still having the trouble. Can anyone help please? Thank you!
